Qashqai Persian Rug 167 × 110 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qashqai of 167 × 110 cm. That is roughly 1.84 m² of floor, about 5.5' × 3.6'.

Construction

The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
